Chapter 1 : Welcome 5

Yo u r P a l m® Pixi™ Plus phone

In one compact and indispensable device, you now have all of the following:

• An advanced wireless phone running the Palm

• A full suite of organiser applications: Contacts, Calendar, Memos and

Ta s k s

• High-speed data with GPRS/EDGE and UMTS (3G and HSDPA) support

• Wi-Fi capability

• A 2-megapixel digital camera

• GPS functionality

• Integrated text, multimedia and instant messaging (IM)

• Tools to view and manage Microsoft Office and Adobe PDF files

Yo ur Pa l m operating system, the Palm

Pixi™ Plus phone puts Palm's new multitasking, gesture-based

webOS™ platform, inside a small, beautiful

device. Here are a few highlights of your new phone.

Gestures: On your Pixi Plus phone, you make calls, move around and

manage your applications and info by making simple gestures either on the touchscreen or in the gesture area directly beneath the screen. For more information, see Use gestures: tap, swipe, drag, flick, pinch, and go to

palm.com/support to see animations that demonstrate these gestures. The

introductory piece in your Pixi Plus phone's box has a detachable gesture guide to put in a pocket and consult when you need to—you won't need it very long.

Multitasking: You can have many applications open at once and easily

move among them. Go to the Launcher to open apps. See the line-up of your open apps in Card view. Tap an app to bring it into the foreground and work with it. For more information, see Open applications. You can also send email or surf the web while on a call.

The Palm

Synergy™ feature: The Palm® Synergy™ feature on your Pixi

Plus phone displays information from several sources in a single view, so you can access your info quickly, without having to remember where you stored it.

webOS™ platform

For example, suppose you have a Google account for personal email, contacts and calendar events, and an Exchange account for your corporate email, contacts and events. The Email, Contacts and Calendar applications on your Pixi Plus phone all provide a kind of view in which you can see information from both of those accounts in one place—but even though the information is brought into one view, the sources of that information are kept separate. For more information, read about linked contacts, layered calendars and the single inbox for your email in Contacts, Calendar and

Email.

NOTE See Online accounts available for Palm® webOSTM phones for the current

list of online accounts that you can set up on your phone and for information about the behaviour of these accounts.

Thanks also to the Synergy feature, in the Messaging application, all your conversations with the same person are grouped together in one chat-style view. If you start an IM chat with Ed, for example, you can continue the same conversation when Ed signs out of IM by sending him a text message—and you can see it all in the same view. For more information, see

Messaging.

Universal search: Need to call Ed? Just type ed. If he's listed in your

Contacts, you can get his numbers from the search results. Tap a number and you've made the call. Search works just as fast when you need to search the web. For more information, see Search to find info and make calls.

Sync: Your Pixi Plus phone gives you synchronisation without a cable. You

can sync with online services that Palm has partnered with so that you can store and sync your info in online accounts. You can access your data even when you are not able to make a connection to the web because a copy of your data is stored on the device.

Yo ur Pa l m p ro f i l e : When you set up your phone, you create a Palm profile.

Your profile gives you access to services like automatic updates and automatic, frequent backups of any of your info that is stored only on your phone and isn’t synchronised with an online account.

answer a security question (see What is a Palm profile?).

NOTE If you have a Palm profile from an old webOS phone that you no longer

use, you can enter that profile email address and username to download that profile information to your new phone. But if you are still using the other phone, you must create a new Palm profile for your Pixi Plus phone—you can't use the same profile on two phones.

4 Your phone is ready to use. To learn how to make your first call, see

Make calls.

Verify your profile

After you finish setup, look for an email on your computer at the address you used for your Palm profile. If you don't see the confirmation email in your Inbox, check your spam mail folder in your desktop email program. Click the link in the email to do the following:

TIP If your phone does not turn on after you insert the battery and press and hold

power, you may need to charge the battery (see Charge the battery).

• Verif y your Pal m profi le.

• Follow a link to learn about getting data like contacts and appointments

onto your phone from your desktop organiser software (see How do I get

data off my computer?).

Chapter 2 : Basics 15

What is a Palm profile?

Your Palm profile provides the following benefits:

Charge the battery

• Automatic system and software updates are sent to your phone.

• A Palm profile account is automatically created for you on your phone. In

this account you can store Contacts and Calendar info that you don’t store in online accounts like Google or Exchange.

NOTE You cannot access Palm profile data on the profile website—you can

access the data on your phone only.

• Info stored in your Palm profile account, as well as info you have in

applications on your phone (like Memos and Tasks), is automatically backed up to servers administered by Palm.

• If your phone is lost or stolen, open the web browser on your computer,

NOTE If you want to erase data on your phone while you are still in possession of

the phone—for example, before you give it to someone else—don't do a remote erase. Instead, do a partial or full erase of the phone itself (see Erase data and reset

your phone).

For detailed information about your Palm profile, see Backup.

When the battery is very low, the battery icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen changes to red. When the battery is fully charged, the icon appears full and changes to green .

WARNING Use only batteries and chargers that are approved by Palm with your

phone. Failure to use a battery or charger approved by Palm may increase the risk that your phone will overheat, catch fire or explode, resulting in property damage, serious bodily injury or death. Use of unapproved third-party power supply accessories may damage the phone and void the Limited Warranty for the product.

Although the battery may come with a sufficient charge to complete the setup process, we recommend that after setup you charge your phone until the battery icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen is full to ensure that the battery is fully charged.

See Maximising battery life for tips on making your battery's power last longer.

1 On the right side of your phone, open the charger/microUSB

connector.

Although you create a Palm profile by entering a valid email address, setting up a Palm profile is different from setting up email on your phone. To set up email, see Set up email. To change your Palm profile information after you set it up, see Update your Palm Profile settings.

16 Chapter 2 : Basics

2 Connect the small end of the USB cable to the charger/microUSB

connector. The silver circle on the cable faces the front of the phone.

3 Connect the other end of the USB cable to the AC charger.

4 Plug the AC charger into a working socket.

TIP You can also charge your phone battery by connecting your phone to your

computer using the USB cable. Charging this way takes much longer than using the AC charger. Do not, however, connect the Palm (sold separately) to your computer.

TouchstoneTM charging dock

Maximising battery life

Battery life depends on how you use your phone. You can maximise the life of your battery by following a few easy guidelines:

• Charge your phone whenever you can. Charge it overnight. The battery

has a much longer useful life when it is topped up frequently than when it is charged after it is fully drained.

• Set your screen to turn off automatically after a shorter period of inactivity

(see Set the interval for turning the screen off automatically).

• Keep your battery away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat.

Temperatures over 45 degrees Celsius can permanently reduce the capacity and life span of any lithium-ion battery.

• As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage,

your phone continues to search for a signal, which consumes power. Turn

off your phone if you are outside a coverage area (see Tur n w ire le ss

services off (aeroplane mode)). You can forward calls to a different

number or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see Tur n ca ll fo rwa rd ing

on/off).

• The fewer wireless connections you have, the less power is required of the

battery. Turn on aeroplane mode when you don’t need to be wirelessly connected. Aeroplane mode turns off your connection to your wireless service provider's network, and it also turns off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. You

can turn on Wi-Fi (see Wi-Fi) and Bluetooth (see Bluetooth

wireless

technology) separately when aeroplane mode is on.

• If you set up an email account in the Email application, set the interval to

automatically download email to every two hours or less frequently (see

Enter advanced account settings).

• Lower the screen brightness (see Change screen brightness).

• Use a Wi-Fi connection to download system updates and applications

from App Catalog (see Update the software on your phone and Use App

Catalog to shop for new applications). Downloads occur faster over Wi-Fi

than over your wireless service provider's data connection, and thus use less battery power.

• Keep in mind that frequent use of instant messaging (IM) can reduce

battery life. Sign out of your IM account when you are not using it (see

Sign out of an IM account).

• Shut down the phone completely when you won't be using it for an

extended period of time (see Turn everything (the screen and wireless

services) on/off).

• If you are in an area where the network coverage zones do not intersect

completely, turn Network Auto-Select off in Phone Preferences. Then, under Network Type, tap 3G only or, if this option doesn't appear, tap

2G only (see Set roaming and data usage preferences). Selecting either

option forces your phone to connect to that network type only, which prevents continuous searching for a strong connection.

• If you do not frequently use applications that require GPS information,

turn off the settings in Location Services (see Location Services). Your phone prompts you to turn a service on if an application requires it temporarily.

• Buy an extra battery as a spare for periods of heavy use or long periods

when you cannot charge your phone. To purchase batteries that are compatible with your phone, go to palm.com/store and click Accessories for your phone.

Chapter 2 : Basics 17

Tur n th e ph one on /o ff

TIP You can also unlock the screen by dragging up from the gesture area across

the onscreen lock icon.

Your Pixi Plus phone's screen can be turned on and off separately from its wireless services (which are the Phone app, Wi-Fi app and

Bluetooth app). This means you can wake up the screen to use just the

organiser features of your device (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Memos and so on) without turning on the phone and other wireless features. Also, when the screen is turned off, the phone can be on and ready for you to receive phone calls or messages.

Turn the screen on/off

Turn the screen on and leave the wireless services turned off when you want to use only the organiser features, for example, when you're on a plane and you must turn off all wireless services, but you want to look at your calendar.

To turn the screen on, press power . Drag up to unlock the screen.

To turn the screen off, press power .

To save power, the screen dims automatically after a period of inactivity and then turns off. You can be on a call when the screen dims and turns off—this does not affect the call. To brighten the screen after it dims, tap the screen.

TIP You can set how long the screen stays on during a period of inactivity (see Set

the interval for turning the screen off automatically).

Turn wireless services off (aeroplane mode)

Aeroplane mode turns off your phone as well as the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® wireless technology features. Use aeroplane mode when you are on a plane or anywhere else you need to turn off all wireless services. You can't browse the web, but you can still use apps like Calendar, Contacts, Photos, Music, Doc View and PDF View.

Do one of the following:

• Tap the top right-hand corner of any screen to open the connection menu.

Tap Turn on Aeroplane Mode.

• Press and hold power and tap Aeroplane Mode.

* Power

18 Chapter 2 : Basics

When your phone is in aeroplane mode, the aeroplane mode icon appears at the top of every screen, and Aeroplane Mode appears in the top left-hand corner of the screen in the Launcher, Card view and Phone. Your phone is not connected to any mobile network.

* These indicate that wireless services are off (aeroplane mode).

TIP When your phone is in aeroplane mode, you can turn the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

features on individually (see Turn Wi-Fi on and off and Turn the Bluetooth feature

on/off). To turn your phone back on, you must turn aeroplane mode off.

Turn wireless services on

When your phone locates a signal, your wireless service provider's name appears in the top left-hand corner of the screen in the Launcher, Card view and Phone, and the signal-strength icon appears at the top of the screen.

* These indicate that wireless services are on.

When you are inside a phone coverage area, the bars on the signal-strength icon are filled in. If you're outside a coverage area, the bars in the signal-strength icon appear dimmed with an X.

When you turn on your phone, it automatically connects to your mobile network so that you can make and receive phone calls and use other wireless services (if supported by the local network).

BEFORE YOU BEGIN To use the phone, you must have an active SIM card

from your wireless service provider inserted into your phone (see Insert the

SIM card).

• If aeroplane mode is turned on, you need to turn it off before you can

connect to your mobile network. Tap the top right-hand corner of any screen to open the connection menu. Tap Tur n o ff Ae ro pl a ne Mo d e .

Turn everything (the screen and wireless services) on/off

Usually, turning your phone off and/or putting it in aeroplane mode is sufficient for normal periods when you have the phone with you but you're not using it. On rare occasions, however, you may want to put your phone into deep sleep because you are not going to use it for an extended period. At those times, do one of the following:

• Open Device Info and tap Reset Options. Tap Shut Down and tap Shut Down again.

Chapter 2 : Basics 19

• Press and hold power and tap Power. Tap Shut Down/Swap Battery and tap Shut Down.

NOTE When you turn everything off, the phone's alarms, ringer and notifications

are also turned off.

You make gestures in two areas on your phone: the touchscreen and the gesture area. The gesture area is the black area extending along the bottom of the screen.

* Gesture area

When you're working in an application, the gesture area displays a lit bar in the centre. The lit bar also appears when you tap the centre of the gesture area to maximise a card in Card view.

To turn both the screen and wireless services back on, press and hold

power .

Use gestures: tap, swipe, drag, flick, pinch

Gestures are an important, basic part of your phone. They're easy to learn, and they make working with the phone fast. You make most gestures with one finger. For a few, you need two. Make gestures with the tip of your finger. Do not use your fingernail. Don't bear down.

To see short animations illustrating how to do gestures, go to palm.com/

support or tap Clips in Help on your phone (see Open applications for

information on how to open Help).

20 Chapter 2 : Basics

Basic gestures

Ta p : Tap with the tip of your finger—not your fingernail. Tap fast and firmly,

and then immediately lift your fingertip off the screen. Don't bear down on what you're tapping. Don't wait for a response; the response comes after you lift your finger. Don't linger on the gesture; a tap takes a split second to do.

Tap the centre of the gesture area to do the following:

• When you're working in an application, tap the centre of the gesture area

to see Card view. Card view shows you all the applications that are currently open, displayed as a series of cards (small active windows).

• When you're in Card view, tap the centre of the gesture area to maximise

the app in the centre of the view.

Swipe: A swipe is most often a horizontal gesture, from right to left or left to

right. Do it fast, do it lightly. In a swipe, your fingertip just skims the surface of the touchscreen or gesture area.

One kind of swipe you'll use a lot: Back. Make the back gesture from right to left anywhere in the gesture area. Back takes you up one level from a detailed view to a more general view of the application you're working in.

For example, when you finish reading an email message, make the back gesture to close the message and return to your list of messages. Or when you finish writing a memo, make the back gesture to close and save the memo and return to the display of all your memos. When you make the back gesture in an application and that's the only screen of that app that's open, you minimise the app and go back to Card view.

The forward gesture, available in Web only, is a swipe from left to right anywhere in the gesture area.The forward gesture allows you to move forward through previously viewed web pages.

Drag: Drag is the gesture you make for a slow scroll up and down, such as in

a list, in a document or on a web page. Slide your fingertip slowly along the surface—no need to bear down.

One kind of drag that you'll use a lot brings up Quick Launch when you're in an application. This drag gesture begins in the gesture area and ends on the touchscreen. As your fingertip slowly crosses the border between the gesture area and the touchscreen, it seems to drag Quick Launch into view. To open one of the apps in Quick Launch, move your finger to its icon. When you see the app name appear, lift your finger. The application opens.

You also make the drag gesture as part of a drag and drop.

In Web, the back gesture performs the same function as the back button on the browser, allowing you to move back through previously viewed pages.

Chapter 2 : Basics 21

Flick: As its name tells you, this is a quick gesture, great for scrolling long

lists, documents or pages. Do it fast, do it lightly; as with a swipe, your fingertip just skims the surface. The faster you flick, the faster and further you scroll up or down a list.

Scroll gestures

Scroll slow: Drag the screen in the desired direction.

To close an application in Card view, flick the card up towards the top of the touchscreen. This is called throwing the card off the top of the screen.

In some applications, such as Email and Messaging, you can throw a list item off the side of the screen to delete the item.

If an application is maximised, you can flick up from the gesture area to the screen to minimise the app and display Card view. This is the up gesture. If you make the up gesture when Card view is displayed, you open the Launcher.

Scroll fast: Flick the screen in the desired direction.

Drag an item

Tap and hold the item, drag it, and then lift your finger to drop it. You get a visual cue that the item is ready to be dragged. For example, an icon in the Launcher is ready to be dragged when you see a halo around the icon. A card in Card view is ready to be dragged when it changes size and becomes transparent.

Delete a list item

The delete gesture is available in applications such as Email, Messaging, Tasks, Music and Bluetooth. If you can’t delete a list item by throwing it, open the item and look in the application menu for a delete command.

TIP To delete multiple list items, throw each one off the screen. If you get the

Delete confirmation prompt after throwing the first item, you don't need to tap

it—just throw the second item, and the first deletion is confirmed automatically.

Open applications

You can have as many applications open at one time as you like, limited only by the amount of memory available on your phone at the time.

Enter information in a field

You can enter information in a field by typing or by pasting previously copied information (see Cut, copy and paste information).

Lists enable you to select from a range of options. Lists are different from menus (see Use the menus), which give you access to additional features.

Lists are hidden until you tap the currently displayed option for that list.

Cut, copy and paste information

You can copy any selectable text, and you can cut any selectable text that you entered, for example, in a memo or an email. This includes text you can select by dragging the cursor and paragraphs you can select by tapping them (see Tex t s el ect ion ges t ures ).

1 Select the text you want to cut or copy (see Text selection gestures).

2 Open the application menu and tap Edit > Cut or Copy.

3 Open the app and insert the cursor where you want to paste the text

(see Text selection gestures).

Use the Select All and Copy All features

Some applications offer a Select All menu item. For example, in Messaging, you can start or open a conversation, open the application menu and tap

Edit > Select All. This saves the entire conversation as plain text, which you

can copy and then paste in a memo, email message and so on.

In Memos, you can open a memo and use the Select All feature to highlight the full memo text, which you can cut or copy.

Some apps offer a Copy All menu item in addition to Select All. These features perform different text selection tasks.

• Email: In an open email message, use Copy All to copy the entire message

(including header info such as sender, recipient and subject) or use Select All to select just the message body text (see Copy messages).

• Contacts: On the contact details screen, use Copy All to copy the contents

of the contact entry as plain text; or on the contact edit screen, insert the cursor in a field and use Select All to highlight the contents of that field.

Save information

• On most screens, your information is saved automatically. Just make the

back gesture to close the screen (see Go up one level in an app (back

gesture)), and your info is saved at the same time.

• Your info is also saved if you minimise an app screen to a card and throw

the card off the top of the screen to close the app.

• On screens with a Done button, tap Done to save your information.

4 Open the application menu and tap Edit > Paste.

TIP You can also use keyboard shortcuts to cut, copy and paste. After selecting

the text or inserting the cursor, press and hold the gesture area until a light appears under the surface of the gesture area and press X (cut), C (copy), V (paste) or A (copy/select all, in apps that support this feature). Pressing and holding the gesture area is sometimes called a "meta-tap".

Use the menus

Most applications have an application menu hidden in the top left-hand corner, which provides access to additional features. There is also a connection menu hidden in the top right-hand corner, which provides access to wireless services.

Chapter 2 : Basics 33

Some applications have additional menus. For example, in Photos, tap an open picture and tap to display a menu of tasks you can do with the picture (see Photos).

To get the most out of your phone, it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the additional features available through the menus in various applications.

Update the software on your phone

Palm continually provides updates to your phone's operating system. Update notifications are sent to your phone automatically when a system update is available (see Respond to a system software notification). When you update your phone's operating system, your personal information and files are not affected. In addition to receiving update notifications, you can manually check for operating system updates at any time (see Manually

check for system updates).

What's more, both Palm and many application developers make updates available for applications you have installed on your phone. You can check in App Catalog at any time for application updates (see Update downloaded

applications).

Respond to a system software notification

When you get a notification that a system update is available, do one of the following:

Here is some additional information about system updates:

• If you have Wi-Fi turned on and the battery has at least a 30% charge,

your phone automatically downloads a system update if one is available— you don't have to do anything. If Wi-Fi is not turned on when the update becomes available, the Palm servers continue to check your phone for Wi-Fi availability for two days.

• If you do not have Wi-Fi turned on at any time within two days of an

update becoming available, your phone automatically downloads the update over your wireless service provider's network as long as the battery has at least a 30% charge and you have a data connection, as indicated by the , or icon at the top of the screen.

• If the battery has less than a 30% charge, you must charge the battery

before you can download or install an update.

• To avoid roaming charges, updates are not downloaded if your phone is in

roaming coverage.

• If you do not install an update immediately after downloading it, you are

prompted to install the update the next time you charge your phone. You can choose whether to install the update now or later. You have ten minutes to decide; otherwise, the update installs automatically.

• Ta p Install Now twice. When installation is complete and the phone

resets, tap Done. Installation may take around 15 minutes.

• Ta p Install Later. The next time you charge your phone, you receive

another update notification. You can again choose whether to install the update now or later. If you do not tap Install Later within 10 minutes of receiving the notification, installation begins automatically.

NOTE You can use your phone while updates are being downloaded, but you

cannot use your phone—including making emergency calls—while updates are being installed.

IMPORTANT Do not remove the battery while updates are being installed.

Copy music, photos and videos using third-party software

Besides using USB Drive mode to copy your photos, videos and DRM-free music from your computer to your phone, you can also use solutions available from third-party software developers (sold separately) that facilitate the transfer of media files to your phone. For more information, open the browser on your computer and go to palm.com/sync-solutions.

If, however, you prefer to leave your personal data on your computer and sync it directly with the data on your phone, there are third-party solutions (sold separately) available to enable you to do that. For more information, go to palm.com/sync-solutions.

KEY TERM DRM-free: Describes a file that is not protected by Digital Rights

Management. DRM-free music files can be copied as many times as you like and can be played on your Pixi Plus phone.

Sync personal data using third-party software

You can set up online accounts like Google and Exchange to sync your contacts (see How do I add names and other info into Contacts?) and calendar events (see How do I get events into Calendar?).

42 Chapter 2 : Basics

Data transfer

From a Windows computer, you can export contacts, calendar appointments, tasks and memos/notes from

Palm

Desktop software by ACCESS version 6.2 and

Microsoft Outlook

2003 or later. From a Mac computer, you can export contacts, calendar events and tasks from Address Book and iCal.

After you export the data, you can add the data into one of your online accounts or the Palm profile account on your Palm

Pixi™ Plus phone.

There are also third-party solutions, sold separately, that enable you to continue synchronising with your desktop software.

Chapter 3 : Data transfer 43

Data transfer overview

While you have many options for transferring data, Palm recommends that you take advantage of the Palm online account—for example, if you don't have a Google account, we recommend that you create one and store your data there (see How do I

add names and other info into Contacts?, How do I get events into Calendar? and How do I send and receive email on my phone?). For more

information on the kinds of online accounts that take advantage of the Synergy feature, see Online accounts available for Palm

Synergy™ feature by putting your data in an

webOSTM phones.

Do you want to sync your personal information between your Pixi Plus phone and Google or Exchange, but first need to get your data out of an old phone that you want to stop using? You can do a one-time, one-way export of data to your Pixi Plus phone and then sync the data to Google or Exchange.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN Check with your wireless service provider to see if

they offer assistance with transferring data from your old phone.

1 On your computer, set up an account on the Google website (go to

googlemail.com) or with Exchange (speak to an IT person at your

company).

If you don't want to sync with an online account, there are other ways to get data on your phone. See I'd rather sync directly with my computer.

Consider carefully whether you want to be able to access and change your data somewhere besides your phone. If you do, do you prefer the other means of access to be a website (for example, Google), or to be software that is installed on your computer? In either case, you can set things up so that you can synchronise new or changed data between your phone and the other data location.

You can also decide not to have a sync setup for your data, in which case you can use your Palm profile to back up your data (see Backup). Although you can't access this data anywhere but on your phone, your data is backed up to a Palm server; so in an emergency—for example, if you lose your phone, or it's stolen—you can remotely erase the data from the phone and later restore the data to a new Palm

webOSTM phone.

How do I get data from my old phone?

2 Open Contacts on your Pixi Plus phone.

3 Enter your username and password for the Google or Exchange

account. See Use Contacts for the first time.

NOTE You don't have to go to Calendar to set up your account there—that's

done automatically using the username and password you enter in Contacts.

4 Go to your wireless service provider's shop and ask a support agent for

help in transferring data from your old phone. When you're ready to transfer data from your old phone, make sure you tell the agent which account to transfer the data to.

How do I get data off my computer?

44 Chapter 3 : Data transfer

Do you want to sync your personal information between your Pixi Plus phone and Google or Exchange, but first need to get the data out of a

desktop app that you want to stop using? You can do a one-time, one-way export of data to your phone, and then if you choose to, sync the data to Google or Exchange.

1 On your computer, set up an account on the Google website (go to

googlemail.com) or with Exchange (speak to an IT person at your

company).

2 Open Contacts on your Pixi Plus phone.

3 Enter your username and password for the Google or Exchange

account. See Use Contacts for the first time.

NOTE You don't have to go to Calendar to set up your account there—that's

About the Data Transfer Assistant (DTA)

The DTA enables you to do a one-time, one-way export of data from selected desktop apps to your Pixi Plus phone through the USB cable included with your phone. After the data is on your phone, you can select the account you want to import the data to.

IMPORTANT The DTA is not synchronisation software. It is meant to be used

once per desktop app to export your info from the desktop app to an account on your phone.

• Depending on the amount of data you are transferring, it can take up to an

hour to complete the transfer of your data.

• On Vista, only Outlook 2007 is supported.

• If you have an earlier version of Palm Desktop, you can download version

6.2 for free from palm.com/desktop. Install it, sync with your old Palm device, and then use the DTA to transfer your data.

• If you use Palm Desktop on the Mac, you can export your contacts,

calendar events and tasks into Address Book and iCal. Then use the DTA to transfer your data. For more information, go to palm.com/migrate-pixi.

• To transfer Calendar and Contacts to Yahoo!, you must use the upload

tool provided by Yahoo!. For more information, go to palm.com/

Use a phone headset

You can connect a 3.5-mm headset (sold separately) for hands-free operation.

WARNING If driving while using a phone is permitted in your area, we

recommend using a headset or hands-free car kit (sold separately). However, be aware that use of a headset that covers both ears impairs your ability to hear other sounds. Use of such a headset while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle may create a serious hazard to you and others, and may be illegal. If you must use a stereo headset while driving, place a speaker in only one ear. Leave the other ear free to hear outside noises, and use the headset only if it is legal and you can do so safely.

Use a wired headset

Your phone works with headsets that have a 3.5-mm connector (look for three coloured bands on the plug). When in doubt, ask the third-party headset manufacturer if the product is compatible with your phone. If you hear a headset buzz or experience poor microphone performance, your headset may be incompatible with your phone.

• To switch from the headset to your phone's speakerphone: Tap

and tap Speaker.

• To switch from the wired headset to a previously paired Bluetooth

hands-free device: Tap and tap the device name.

• To use your phone without the headset: Disconnect the headset.

Change your voicemail number

If your wireless service provider changes the phone number for your voicemail system, you need to change the number on your phone. This is the number your phone dials if you use any of the shortcuts to access voicemail (see Listen to voicemail messages).

1 Open Phone .

Dialling shortcuts add a prefix at the beginning of a number, so you can dial an extension instead of the whole number.

1 Open Phone .

2 Open the application menu and tap Preferences.

3 Under Dialling Shortcuts, tap Add new number.

4 Set the following:

When I Dial: Tap this field and select the number of digits you need to

enter to have your phone add a dialling shortcut.

Use This Dialling Prefix: Enter the prefix to be added at the

beginning of the dialled number. The combination of prefix and digits you enter must add up to a complete phone number.

5 Ta p Done.

Example: Some company phone systems require a standard-length number,

for example, 5555-1234. When dialling from a phone that's part of the system, you need to dial only the last five digits (51234). To create a five-digit dialing shortcut on your phone, you select "5 digit numbers" for When I

Dial and enter "555" in Use This Dialling Prefix. When you dial your

coworker's five-digit extension (51234), your phone automatically dials the whole number: 5555-1234.

2 Open the application menu and tap Preferences.

is highlighted. To change it, simply type the new number. If the current number is not highlighted, tap the number to highlight it and then type the new number.

Email, text, multimedia and instant messaging

Enjoy the ease and speed of keeping in touch with friends, family and colleagues by email anywhere you can access your wireless service provider's data network. You can send and receive attachments as well.

And keep the Messaging app in mind for times when you need to send a short text, multimedia or instant message to a mobile phone number—especially handy when you're in a meeting that's running late.

Email

How do I send and receive email on my phone?

Use the Email application on your phone to access the many email accounts you have: company (like Exchange), ISP (like EarthLink or Comcast) and web-based (like Google Mail).

Palm

Synergy™ feature, you can see all messages from all your inboxes

displayed in a single merged view called All inboxes.

The Palm

Synergy™ feature makes it easy to synchronise all data from an online account. When you set up synchronisation in one app, synchronisation of the other apps is automatically set up for you. For example, if you set up your Google contacts account in Contacts before you set up Google Mail, when you first open Email, you find that your Google Mail messages are already downloaded. And when you first open Calendar, you find that your Google calendar events are already in your phone's Calendar app.

For email accounts that do not make use of the Synergy feature, you need to enter the settings for that account—such as username and password— directly in the Email application (see Set up email).

You can also use your phone's web browser to view your web-based email—just go to the email provider's website.

Merged inboxes in Email

You can set up multiple email accounts on your phone. When you open Email, you see all your accounts in a single view: Account List view. From there, you can open the inbox of an individual account—or, thanks to the

1 The number to the right of All inboxes indicates the total number of unread email messages

in all your email accounts.

2 The number to the right of an individual folder name indicates the number of unread

messages in that folder.

If you reply to a message when you're working in All inboxes, the message is sent from the same account in which it was received.

If you create a new message when you're working in All inboxes, the message goes out using the account you set as the default account (see Set

email preferences).

Send or Email. For details, see the section in this guide on the specific

application.

What kinds of messages can I send and receive?

You can use the Messaging application to send and receive the following types of messages:

• Text and multimedia messages (see Create and send a text or multimedia

message)

• Instant messages for an IM account you already have set up online (see

Set up an instant messaging (IM) account)

The Synergy feature enables the Messaging app to gather all your text, multimedia and instant messages to and from the same contact into a single conversation (sometimes called a thread). So you can see your entire message history with someone regardless of the different methods you happened to use to communicate with that person (see Work with

conversations). You can even switch from account to account without losing

the thread of your conversation (see Switch between messaging accounts in

a conversation)—just pick the messaging account that's most likely to keep

you in unbroken contact with the person you're talking to.

Work with conversations

When you exchange more than one message with a person, the messages are grouped into a conversation. A single conversation can contain text, multimedia and IM messages. When you start or continue a conversation, the top part of the conversation screen displays all messages you've exchanged with this person, and the bottom part provides the area where you type your next message.

You can carry on conversations with multiple people at the same time.

Contacts, Calendar and other personal information

Yo ur P al m® Pixi™ Plus phone makes it easy to organise your personal information and keep it with you wherever you go.

All your personal information is backed up and kept private either in your Palm profile or in one of your online accounts.

In this chapter

88 Contacts 97 Calendar 104 Tasks 108 Memos 109 Clock 110 Ca lcu lator 111 Facebook

Chapter 6 : Contacts, Calendar and other personal information 87

Contacts

Use a third-party sync solution: If you want to use a desktop app to store

your contacts, you can use a third-party solution (sold separately) to sync your contacts directly with your computer (see palm.com/sync-solutions).

How do I add names and other info into Contacts?

You have a few options for getting info into your Contacts.

Connect to an online address book: If you have an address book in an

online account that works with the Palm Google or Microsoft Exchange), you can set up Contacts on your phone to synchronise and display contacts that you store in the online address book. Set up synchronisation the first time you open Contacts (see Use Contacts

for the first time), or anytime after that (see Customise Contacts). After you

set up the connection to the online address book, contacts you enter online show up automatically in Contacts, and contacts you enter on your phone sync to the online account, provided the account allows writing from the phone to the online account.

The Synergy feature makes it easy to synchronise other data from an online account. When you set up synchronisation in one app, synchronisation of the other apps is automatically set up for you. For example, if you set up your Google Mail account in Email before you set up Contacts, when you first open Contacts, you find that your Google contacts are already downloaded. When you first open Calendar, you find that your Google calendar events are already in your phone's Calendar.

NOTE See Online accounts available for Palm® webOSTM phones for the current

list of online accounts that you can set up on your phone and from which you can access contacts.

Synergy™ feature (for example,

Transfer contacts using the Data Transfer Assistant: When you transfer

contacts from desktop software, you select which account to assign those contacts to. Look for those contacts in the account you select (see How do I

get data off my computer?).

Download vCard info to Contacts: A vCard is a file type made especially

for contact info. A vCard may contain one or many contact entries. A vCard can be attached to an email or a multimedia message, and you can download the info in a vCard to your Contacts app. See Receiving vCards.

Linked contacts

The Synergy feature automatically links contacts from different accounts if it finds data in common among them. For example, if you have a contact in Exchange and in Google for Emily Weeks, your phone links the contacts so that all of Emily's info shows up on a single contact screen. You need to open just one view to see all of Emily's info. The actual source data remains separate in the various accounts where you originally created the data; it's just assembled in one view on your phone for your convenience.

How can you tell if a contact is linked? Look in the top right-hand corner of the contact screen. If you see a stack of photos and a number, that means that you're looking at a linked contact, with combined info from contacts you're storing in separate accounts.

Enter a contact directly in Contacts: See Create a contact for instructions.

You can assign the contact to one of your online address books—if you do, it synchronises with the online address book. Or you can create the contact in your Palm profile account, which means it shows up on your phone only. Palm profile contacts are included in the daily backup of your Palm profile information, so you can restore them if they are accidentally erased.

88 Chapter 6 : Contacts, Calendar and other personal information

1 Tap the stack of photos to see the contacts that are linked. 2 Emily is a contact in your Google online account and in your Palm profile account. 3 Scroll down to see Emily's combined contact info.

You can unlink linked contacts, and you can manually link contacts (see Link

a contact or Unlink a contact).

2 Do one of the following:

• To set up your first online account to sync: Tap the account type,

enter the account information and tap Sign in.

• To set up a second online account to sync: Tap Add An Account,

tap the account type, enter the account information and tap Sign In.

• To open Contacts without creating an online account: Tap Done.

This opens your Palm profile account and you can start creating contacts in this account.

NOTE If you add your Facebook or LinkedIn account to Contacts, your friends'

Facebook and LinkedIn email addresses show up in Contacts. You cannot change Facebook or LinkedIn info from Contacts on your phone. You also cannot add friends to your Facebook or LinkedIn account from Contacts. To work directly with Facebook or LinkedIn, go to facebook.com or linkedin.com in the Web application (see We b). To update your status and see your Facebook news feed, use the Facebook application developed for your phone (see Faceboo k).

Assign a reminder message to a contact

If you have an important message or a question for a contact, you can enter a reminder on your phone. The next time you and the contact are in touch—whether by phone call, email, or text message/IM—a notification appears showing the contact name and a message bubble. Tap the bubble to view the reminder.

When your phone recognises matching information in two or more contacts—for example, the same name and phone number—it automatically gathers the info from the two records into a single view that displays all the contact information. You can also manually link contacts. The info for your linked contacts appears combined only on your phone— the actual info is kept separate and distinct in the accounts it came from.

IMPORTANT To maintain the integrity of your contact data, it's important that

you link only one person's contact info in different accounts. For example, if you have contact info for Emily Weeks in Google, Facebook, Microsoft Exchange and your Palm profile account, go ahead and link all four contacts into a linked contact. But don't link Emily's contact info with her sister Allison's.

Deleting the account from Contacts also deletes any associated contact entries from your phone only. The entries are not deleted from the online account.

You can also choose to sort by Company & first name or Company

& last name. In these cases, the company name is alphabetised, and

within the company, whichever you choose, the names are still listed as first name followed by last name.

Accounts: Tap an account to change login settings and sign in using

the new settings.

Default account: Tap the current default account to change the

default to another account. New contacts you create are assigned to this account unless you specify otherwise.

Sync Now: Tap to manually synchronise your online accounts.

Add An Account: Tap and then tap an account type. Enter the

account information. Before you can set up an account on your phone, you must already have an account online with the provider.

NOTE Microsoft Exchange is an exception to other online accounts. If you delete

your Exchange account from Contacts, the account is also deleted from Calendar, Email and Tasks.

Calendar

How do I get events into Calendar?

You have a few options for getting events to show up in Calendar:

Connect to an online calendar: If you have a calendar in an online account

that works with the Palm Microsoft Exchange), you can set up Calendar on your phone to synchronise and display events in the online calendar. Set up synchronisation the first time you open Calendar (see Use Calendar for the first time) or anytime after that (see Customise Calendar). After you set up the connection to the online calendar, events you enter online show up automatically in Calendar, and events you enter on your phone sync to the online account, provided the account allows writing from the phone to the online account.

Synergy™ feature (for example, Google or

Send Via Email: Email opens.

Receiving vCards

To get an emailed vCard into Contacts:

1 From the open Email message, tap the attachment.

The vCard opens automatically within Contacts.

2 Ta p Add to Contacts.

DID YOU KNOW? If you synchronise with your Google calendar, you can add

Google Weather to the calendar on your desktop and have it appear in Calendar on your phone. On your desktop, log in to your Google Calendar account and open

Calendar Settings. Click the General tab, enter your location and click the

temperature unit you want in Show weather based on my locations. The next time your phone synchronises with your Google account, Google Weather appears in Calendar on your phone.

The Synergy feature makes it easy to synchronise other data from an online account. When you set up synchronisation in one app, synchronisation of the other apps is automatically set up for you. For example, if you set up your Google Mail account in Email before you set up Calendar, when you first open Calendar, you find that your Google calendar events are already downloaded. When you first open Contacts, you find that your Google contacts are already in your phone's Contacts app.

Chapter 6 : Contacts, Calendar and other personal information 97

NOTE See Online accounts available for Palm® webOSTM phones for the current

list of online accounts that you can set up on your phone and from which you can access contacts.

Enter an event directly in Calendar: See Create an event for instructions.

You can assign the event to one of your online calendars—if you do, it synchronises with the online calendar. Or you can create the event in your Palm profile account, which means it shows up on your phone only. Palm profile events are included in the daily backup of your Palm profile information, so you can restore them if they are accidentally erased.

Use a third-party sync solution: If you want to use a desktop app to store

your calendar events, you can use a third-party solution (sold separately) to sync your calendar events directly with your computer (see palm.com/

sync-solutions).

Transfer calendar events using the Data Transfer Assistant: When you

transfer calendar events from desktop software, you select which account to assign those events to. Look for those events in the account you select (see

How do I get data off my computer?).

Layered calendars

Suppose you use the calendar in both Microsoft Exchange and Google. If you set up both of those accounts to sync with your phone, your phone's Calendar app shows the events from both in a single view—a layered calendar with events that are colour-coded to identify which account they come from. Individual events are stored separately with your different providers; the events are just assembled in one view on your phone for your convenience.

If you change an event, the change is made in the appropriate calendar.

Use Calendar for the first time

1 Open Calendar .

2 Do one of the following:

• To set up your first online account to sync: Tap the account type,

enter the account information and tap Sign In.

• To set up a second online account to sync: Tap Add An Account,

tap the account type, enter the account information and tap Sign In.

• To open Calendar without creating an online account: Tap Done.

This opens your Palm profile account, and you can start creating events in this account.

NOTE If you choose to sync Calendar with an online Facebook account, your

Facebook events show up in Calendar, but you cannot add calendar events to Facebook from the Calendar app. To work directly with Facebook, go to

facebook.com in the Web application (see Web). To update your status and see

your Facebook news feed, use the Facebook application developed for your phone (see Facebook).

You can also look at the events of just one calendar at a time.
